TERRE HAUTE,
Ind. - Sophomore
Hadley Jennings (Trenton, Mo.) fired an opening-round 77 to
direct the efforts of the Drake women's golf team in first-day action at the
State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Championship hosted by Indiana State at
the Country Club of Terre Haute on Sunday (April 22).

Jennings is tied for
15th, while as a team, the Bulldogs turned in a strong finish on the back nine
to card a 323 to sit eighth among the 10 competing teams.

"We got off to a
rough start on the front nine as we battled a little bit of nerves, but we were
able show improvement coming down the stretch, Drake head coach Leanne Smith commented. "Hadley (Jennings) played really well
and I'm looking forward to her and the rest of the team coming back tomorrow
with strong efforts."
